Washington, D.C. – March 4, 2026 – The Pentagon has officially identified four of the six American service members killed in the ongoing US-Iran War, marking the first confirmed U.S. casualties since Operation Epic Fury began on February 28. The soldiers died in an Iranian drone strike on a U.S. military facility in Port Shuaiba, Kuwait, on March 1.
The fallen heroes, all from the Iowa-based 103rd Sustainment Command (U.S. Army Reserve), are:
- Captain Cody A. Khork, 35, of Winter Haven, Florida
- Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42, of Bellevue, Nebraska
- Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota
- Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20, of West Des Moines, Iowa
Two additional soldiers killed in the same attack have not yet been publicly named. President Trump called the service members “true American patriots” but warned that “more deaths are likely” as the conflict escalates.
This comes as U.S.-Israeli strikes intensify on Day 5 of the war, with fresh attacks reported in Tehran targeting Iranian leadership compounds and security infrastructure. Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes across the region, including on U.S. bases in the Gulf.
